: In a discussion about Merry, Goodgulf said that elves have pointy ears.
: Quote: "No where in the book does Tolkien describe pointy ears. blah, blah, blah...And then I had to swallow my word when I saw Tolkien's discription.": I found this strange as I have never seen or heard of elves as having pointy ears. : Does anybody have a quote confirming this?
: Thanks. In one of his history books (Unfinished Tales, one of the books in the history of Middle-earth, I can't remember). Tolkien described them as leaf-like. He kind of expanded but I can't recall right now. But I think the general idea was an oval type leaf with some type of point at the end.
